Hachiko


Day after day, Hachiko walks for many kilometers to the train station. He waits all day but Dr Ueno never comes.

This story is famous Japanese story. Hachiko, a dog of Dr Ueno, wait him. But one day, he is dead. Hachiko still wait for him.


I was moved Hachiko's loyalty. Hachiko may understand Ueno's death. But it is great of Hachiko to wait for a long time and remember Ueno forever. I was curious what is  Hachiko's "Kou".
Words of this book are a little easy, so some people feel too easy.

The Mystery of Allegra

     I read "The Mystery of Allegra". Allegra is an unusual name. It means 'happy' in Italian, but the little girl in this story is sometimes very sad. Adrian,'I', is an English boy and tries to help this poor girl. I'll introduce important points with quotation. She was looking at me with big eyes, as blue as Italian sky in summer. Her blond hair was as bright as sunlight round her pale face.         This sentences is when Adrian met Allegra for the first time. He visited Italy with his parents on Holiday. They stayed a villa and he slept in a room different from his parents. Then, in night he met her. The reason I like this sentences is that it uses metaphors and easy to imagine her looks. Especially, I like "big eyes, as blue as Italian sky in summer". I have never visited Italy, but I can imagine sunny Italian sky. Also, it is an expression that can be made because he is traveling Italy. She was pale and beautiful, like the girl in my r

Rain, Rain, Rain!

"I don't like the rain. And it's raining today." She think, "I don't want to go to school." School starts at 9 o'clock. Now it's 8:20! This story is a girl who is likely to be late for school. She is a hurry,  but she can't use her bicycle, train and bus by  some accident.   It wonders if she get to school in time. I admire to this girl because she go to school by bicycle in the rain. If I am her, I will ask for my parents to take me to school. In the rain, road is wet and the view is wrong. Also, it is important to listen to other's advice .

San Francisco

  This week, I read “San Francisco”. This book has ten chapters, and they introduce San Francisco’s weather, history, tourist spot and shops. Although every chapter are interested, I will introduce my interesting chapters with quotation.   Chapter 3: From 1906 to the Summer of Love      This chapter is about modern San Francisco from 1906. 1906 is an important year for people and history in San Francisco. At 5.12 in the morning on Wednesday 18 April 1906, the earth suddenly began to move in San Francisco. ~The earth did not stop moving for forty-two seconds. It was a very big earthquake – one of the worst earthquakes in the world at that time.      I did not know they have experienced such a disaster. Because of this disaster, the fire continued to burn for four days, and more than three thousand men, women, and children died. When I read this number, I was so surprised. Even more surprising, in the year after the earthquake, San Francisco became a wonderful city again.   C
